Studiouness

  • Studiousness


  • "Studiousness then is that virtue which is supposed to regulate and direct man's desire to know. This "desire to know" needs direction because it can be at fault, and this in two directions: first, the soul may be carried away by an unrestrained, undisciplined curiosity (no order, no priorities, no direction); or, on the other hand, the soul may not be carried away at all, but captured by laziness and sloth."
